5They are multiplied above the hairs of my head, who hate me without cause. My enemies are grown strong who have wrongfully persecuted me: then did I pay that which I took not away.
6O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my offences are not hidden from thee:
7Let not them be ashamed for me, who look for thee, O Lord, the Lord of hosts. Let them not be confounded on my account, who seek thee, O God of Israel.
8Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
9I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to the sons of my mother.
